Congrats!!!! very inspirational

I was banded 12/1 I have a "possible incision infection" at my main port site my surgeon put me on antibioctics. I noticed yesterday that one of my other incisions looks likes it might be infected also it's a little swollen and when I looked at it this morning it's looks like it's opening up with a small whole...and that's how the other one started out. Could this mean that my entire port is infected?!?!?!? has anybody else had this issue?????

Hello- we are sorta in the same boat I was banded 12/1 and I don't feel like I'm losing as much weight as others I see on LBT...I was 267 on my surgery day and now I'm 256 that's 11lbs I know I should be grateful for any loss BUT I was hoping for so much more. I know it's not a good thing to "compare" because everybody is dofferent but I just can't help it. Good Luck to you on your journey and hope things start moving along faster for the both of us!

Thanks Purpleshell =) MARIASHA- I WAS NOT ASKING TO BE DIAGNOSED IF YOUR READ YOU WOULD SEE THAT I ASKED IF ANYBODY ELSE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. PLEASE READ AND ABSORB THE INFORMATION CORRECTLY BEFORE RESPONDING TO ANYTHING ELSE I POST. THANKS

i was banded 12/1 and so far I've only lost 9lbs ( shouldn't it be more ?!?!?! ) I really have not been able to excersise other than walking because of incision pain at the port site...so I was told to take it easy by my surgeon. I've been overeating since Christmas day, a few time to the point of vomiting I can't wait until my first fill 1/12/11 ....I'm finding myself getting hungry between meals and eating more often... HEELLLPPP how can I get back on track until my fill I could really use some tips :/ Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks for your comment it's good to know I'm not alone...good luck on your journey!!!

I'm 13 days post op & my port site hurts when I cough, is that normal ?!?!

I AM SO HAPPY I AM NO A POST OP PATIENT...IT SEEMS IKE IT TOOK FOREVER TO GET IT BUT IT WA ALL WORTH THE WAIT. I FEEL AWESOME AND ALREADY STARTING TO LOSE A LITTLE WEIGHT ;0) THE ONLY PAIN I HAVE IS AT THE PORT SITE...AND A LITTLE GAS FROM DRINKING A LITTLE TO FAST :/ WORDS TO THE WISE SIP...SIP....SIP TO Avoid GAS AND DISCOMFORT Happy banding
